[Question] Any way to add query parameters and body parameters in the same request?

[gperdomor]

Hi... I wanna send a request with query and body parameters...

Alamofire support this feature or i need to build the query parameters manually like this:

Alamofire.request("MY_URL?access_token=\(token)&param2=\(param2)", method: .post ...)

It's not built into the top level APIs but you should be able to pass a URLRequest through two different encodings with no issue. I'd recommend encapsulating such logic inside a router as described in our documentation.

Hi @jshier I recently found this library however I have the same issue that I have a post request with query parameter and body? How could I achieve this? I look at the wiki examples but couldn't find, looked into QueryString for URLEncoded but still...

Things haven't fundamentally changed since my original reply. Alamofire doesn't offer anything built in to do this, but you should be able to compose our various ParameterEncoder implementations inside a URLRequestConvertible implementation to encode parameters wherever you want. You could even do so generically.

struct QueryAndBodyParameters<Query: Encodable, Body: Encodable>: URLRequestConvertible {
  let query: Query
  let body: Body

  func asURLRequest() throws -> URLRequest {
    var request = ...
    let queryEncoder = URLFormEncodedParameterEncoder(destination: .queryString)
    try queryEncoder.encode(query, into: &request)
    let bodyEncoder = JSONParameterEncoder()
    try bodyEncoder.encode(body, into: &request)

    return request
  }
}

Something like that can provide the basic structure you need.

I'll convert this to a discussion in case other have any ideas.

If you'd like an overall introduction to Alamofire, I suggest you read our Usage guide. You can find even more detail in our Advanced usage guide.
